WATEReRESERVOIRS FOR COOKING-STOVES.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONGERN:

Be it known thatrwe, CONRAD HARRIS and PAUL W. ZOINER, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stove-Reservoirs; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification.

This is an improvement in the class of water-heating vessels called reservoirs, designed to be placed permanently upon the rear part of a cooking-stove; and the first part of our invention consists in forming such a reservoir of two distinct pots or tanks, arranged back to back, and so recessed on their opposing 'sides `(or backs) as, in conjunction with suitable closing strips, to form a flue or passage for the ascending smoke; and the second part of" our invention consists in a form and arrangement of parts by which the lids are hinged to the body by the merc act of securing the top plate.

Figure 1 is a vertical section on the line W W.

Figure 2 is a -horizontal section on the line X X, looking upward.

Figure 3 is a transverse section at Y Y.

Figure 4 is a transverse section at Z Z.

Figure 5 is a detached perspective view of one. of the closing or locking strips.

A A are two pots or vessels of cast iron, which may, as in the present illustration, be precisely similar one to the other. The adjacent sides of these vessels have indentations or coves B B', which, in conjunction with 'two closing strips C C', form a circular or nearly circular iluc or passage for the smoke. Dis the top plat-@and E E are two similar lids or coversgwhose top surface is, when closed, flush with that of the top plate. F F are two bolts, which, traversing the top plate of the reservoir and ears GG in thc inner sides of' the strips C C', and having nuts 1I H', serve, in conjunction with suitable lugs or flanges I I on the strips, and J J and K K in the top plate, nden'tations L and M in the vessels, and gudgcons N on the lids, tohold all of these parts or members of the reservoir securely together, the gudgeons N and indentationsM also serving as very complete hinges for the lids. Y i

When compared with the customary reservoir, having a Vcentral smoke-passage, this form of reservoir is found to possess several very decided advantages; for example, the coves and closing strips unite to forma channel suiiciently tight for the purpose of a smoke-flue, and each pot A A forms a complete and tight vessel to which the said lue is wholly external.

It will also be seen that the bolts F F', occupying the recesses between the vessels A A', are quite out of the way of the smoke-passage proper, and that the lids are securely hinged to the vesselA by the simple act of fastening down the top plate.

The within-selected illustration of our invention is susceptible of various modifications; for example, the

covings may be of such form as to constitute an o'val or an oblong flue, and may be wholly or chiefly in one vessel; the vessels themselves may be of any desired number, and may he so constructed as to dispense with the closing strips.

We claim herein as new, and of our invention- 1. A stovc-reservoir, consisting of two or more coved pots or vessels A B A B', formed and combined substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A stove-reservoir, composed of two pots or vessels A A', having cores B B on their opposing sides, in

l combination with closingstrips C C', top plato'D, and bolts F F, with their described or equivalent accessories,

substantially as set forth.

3. The mode of hinging the lids of the reservoir by gudgeons N, occupying indentations M in the vessel, and secured by the top plate D, iumanncr substantially as represented.

In testimony of which invention we hereunto set our hands.

CONRAD HARRIS,

PAUL W. ZOINE R.
